I went to this company at 9:00 at night on a Thursday after my HD crashed at 7 pm and the Apple Store couldn't recover the data so they recommended TechFusion for being able to recover data overnight. I had just gotten to Boston for a new job two days before and hadn't had time to set up a backup drive. Worst possible timing for a crash ever. If I didn't get my two days of work back, I could lose my job. I told Alfred this. He asked where I worked. I told him I was working on a movie. He then wanted to tell me about all the "famous" people he knew, like I'd know them personally, and then he wanted to brag about all the famous cases of data recovery he'd been on the news for. At this point, it was 10 at night, I'm sitting alone with a man I don't know in a sketchy windowless office accessed through a back staircase off a dark parking lot in a place I've never been before, and all I wanted to hear was that he could get my data back. Alfred charged me a $600 rush fee for overnight work. Yes, someone probably worked over night, and yes, they recovered my data, but at the end of Friday they told me they had recovered my data but it would take another day or two to actually get me the data. I got my data back 3.5 days after I paid the rush overnight fee and he wanted to charge me $3200 on top of the $600 AND not fix the computer, just give me an external drive with my data, so I'd have to go get the laptop repaired or replaced on top of this fee. He couldn't itemize these costs or tell me how he arrived at this price. The 1 TB external drive priced out online at $49. He did tell me that I drove a nice car (its a company rental I didn't pick out) and implied that meant I could afford it. He also commented on my dress and asked where I got it implying he thought it was expensive. (It was Anthropologie that I got 2nd hand for $12.) He knew how bad I needed that two days of work recovered and he exploited me because he thought I was good for it with a job in the film industry, a nice car and a nice dress. Gave me the same lines he gave other reviewers here that they'd "never seen a hard drive break in this way." However, the hard drive didn't need replacing he said. It could be fixed. How bad was it then really? I called around for 2nd opinion estimates and every place I told Alfred's price to literally laughed out loud and said that was absurd. The Apple employee that helped me the first night apologized profusely for sending me there and said he'd never recommend TechFusion again. When I asked for my computer back so I could take it somewhere else to fix it for cheaper, Alfred said it would take two more days because he'd have to "undo" the fix .. how you undo a software malfunction, I am not sure, but Alfred was now becoming hostile, yelling at me for questioning his arbitrary prices. At this point I just really needed my computer back in working order so I could do my job. Every time I asked him to itemize his costs, he'd say "I'll call you back" and then come back like some kind of used car dealer with a slightly lower price. Eventually, I negotiated him down to $2800 with a wiped clean working computer and external drive with data. When I went to pick up the computer, I was so afraid of Alfred that I brought a coworker. First, he was late meeting us at his office. Then he walked right past me while I waited by the door as if he didn't know me. I had to text him to say I was waiting outside and he had locked the door behind him. When he let me up to his office, I wanted to turn the computer on, attach the data drive and make sure my files would open and weren't corrupted somehow. To open the Illustrator file and be sure the vectors would still edit, I needed to reinstall Illustrator by download. He wouldn't let me on the office wifi because he said "How do I know you won't upload all your data and steal it and I will not be able to get my money?" I said "Well first because you're sitting right there and can watch what I do, and second, if it took you three days to transfer my data to an external drive, you think I can upload everything over wifi in a few seconds???" My coworker chimed in to agree that I should be allowed to inspect the product before I paid him thousands of dollars and he began yelling at her "I AM NOT DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU! I CAN ASK YOU TO LEAVE!" In the end, the computer worked for 10 days and then died again. I had to go buy a new computer anyway. I was over $7000 deep on this crash thousands of miles from home. I informed Alfred it had crashed again and he did not reply to my text. In the end I would say, yes, they'll get your data back but you might have to sell your first born for them to actually hand it over. They know EVERY customer that comes to them is desperate and they will take you for everything you have. read more
